Rolex Paris Masters 2026: tickets, transport and tips for the Plenitude Arena (ex-Paris La Défense Arena)
The Rolex Paris Masters runs from Saturday 31 October to Sunday 8 November 2026 at the Plenitude Arena in Nanterre, the venue previously known as Paris La Défense Arena. Tickets start at €15. Here is everything you need to plan your visit to the last ATP Masters 1000 of the season, in its 40th year.
Since 2025, the tournament has been held at the arena in Paris La Défense, after 39 editions at Bercy (1986–2024). The venue was renamed Plenitude Arena in July 2026 (Visit Paris Region), so you will still see it called “Paris La Défense Arena” on many maps, apps and booking sites. It is the same building.
Address: Plenitude Arena, 99 Jardins de l’Arche, 92000 Nanterre
Capacity: around 17,500 seats on Centre Court for the tournament
Courts: five in total (four competition courts and one practice court)
Surface: resin on wood (GreenSet), indoor
The move has been a box-office success: attendance rose from 175,000 spectators in 2024 to a record 220,000 in 2025, according to the tournament’s 2026 press kit. “2026 will be the year that confirms the move’s success,” says tournament director Cédric Pioline.
How to get to the Plenitude Arena (La Défense Arena)
The arena sits at the heart of the La Défense business district, which is one of the best-connected spots in the Paris region. Organisers encourage all spectators to come by public transport.
